- In your browser, go to photobucket.com and login with our club user ID and password.  I won't list it here, since my blog is public but if you don't know it, you can email me here and I'll let you know what it is. 
- Once you are logged in, you will see our default album which has our club group photos and club logo.  To your right, you should see sub-albums, with names according to what is in them.  Ex.  Christmas Party 2012.  If you click on the name of the album, you can view all of the pictures in that album or download them all.  **Please never delete any pictures**
- To upload pictures so that I can put them on our website, make sure you are viewing our main album, UnitedRider's Album.  If not then you can go back to it by clicking on that album then on your right on the sub-albums heading, click create new album beside sub-albums.  Give your album a name and choose create album at the bottom.  Nothing else needs to be changed on that box.  The next screen will allow you to upload your photos from your computer to your newly created album.
I hope this is helpful for anyone who has not used photobucket.com yet.
